Exposure
Dirty, covered from head to toe. Anxiety, should I let it show? Dirty rags pouring out of my soul. Expose the contents of my bowl. ~ Anxiety, nerves galore. Emotions raw and sore. Exposed like a new born. Butt naked for you to scorn. ~ This is me. Here I am. Filthy. Dirty, not readyContinue reading “Exposure”
At this stage
Blood on the page At this stage ~ Seeping from a wound never healed Rivers flowing from a bandaged peeled ~ Drops trail behind me like bread crumbs Leaving limbs numb ~ Can’t you see this How can you miss ~ This can’t be visible only to me From sea to shining see ~ AContinue reading “At this stage”
Time quote
Do you need time? “Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives.

The path
Life is full of paths. Perhaps you find it fascinating and wish to do the math? ~ One such path is the path of love. There is a need imprinted on our souls from above. ~ We spend our lives in hope. We find multiple ways to cope. ~ We fall into pools, shimmering. AtContinue reading “The path”
Loaf of bread
Sometimes I’m amazed at how things get where they are. As I’m driving along the other day, there is a load of bread on a guardrail. A guardrail along side of a 4 lane highway. 🤔 And the wild part, it didn’t look mashed. I can’t make it 3 miles without a loaf of breadContinue reading “Loaf of bread”
